Guest guest Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 Hi Kathe, This is according to Adele Davis, from her book: Let's Have Healthy Children, page 91, a list of food naming protein completeness, and the grams of protein these foods contain (so that pregnant mums can work out their daily protein intake) : Whole milk Skim milk or butter milk Yoghurt Powdered skim milk Egg Yeast Wheat Germ Cottage cheese American or swiss cheese Meat, fish, fowl Soybean There is no indication in her book to say if there are more foods containing complete proteins which are not on this list. love, Lisa - nkbaker2001 herbal remedies Tuesday, May 13, 2003 11:53 PM [herbal remedies] complete proteins Hi Lisa, You mentioned almond milk being a source of complete protein. I did'nt realize that. Do you, or anyone else, have any other things that are a complete source of protein. I know that rice and beans are. I love learning new things! That's what makes this list the best!Kathe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 Ilana, I don't really know. I spoke with Valorie, Doc's wife, about my almond milk (the almond milk is Valorie's recipe), and she told me it was a source of complete protein. I do sprout the almonds before making the milk, but couldn't tell you if the protein information is also valid if the almonds are not sprouted.

Because the only non-vegetable source that is anywhere close to complete just like that is soy, and it's not even fully complete.ILANA xoxonkbaker2001 wrote: Hi Lisa, You mentioned almond milk being a source of complete protein.
